This new drink is the hit of 2020

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the food lovers of online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat and what to cook. This time our chefs serve you: the popular drink Hard Seltzer.

Have you heard of ‘hard seltzer’ yet? No? Then it's high time, because it's being whispered that this drink is going to conquer the market. Hard seltzer is not a brand name, it stands for its own category of drinks. Low-alcohol drinks based on sparkling water, alcohol, and a (fruit) flavor, to be precise. In America, it is a real hit – and now it's Europe's turn.

Low in calories
In 2019, hard seltzer in America accounted for $1.2 billion in revenue, and the expectation is that this will nearly triple by 2021. Especially millennials enjoy drinking hard seltzer. In the Netherlands, you can now buy STËLZ, the hard seltzer made from sparkling water with unsweetened fruit flavor and 4.5% alcohol. STËLZ contains no sugars, no carbohydrates, and no gluten, but does have a natural flavor. It fits well into the current trend of living healthier and more balanced, according to the makers.

STËLZ: few calories compared to other alcoholic drinks

Strong
Hard seltzer STËLZ comes in two flavors: Lime and Raspberry, with mango and grapefruit in the making. In Amsterdam, it was immediately stocked at specialty store STERK, where the shelf was sold out in no time. Curious? You can buy STËLZ here.
